Help getting apache 22 working

Hi,

I've installed apache 22 on my churches web server and am
having some
difficulty getting it working.  I've figured out that I need
something
call accept filters accept_filter(9) for this as the server
was
complaining about a missing file named "httpready"
(or something like
this).  I found from the Apache site linked in the handbook
that I
need to have a kernel module named accf_http loaded, which I
have
done.  This has actually eliminated that error.

However, the server still isn't working as a "lynx
localhost" is
denied and sockstat doesn't show any listening sockets on
port 80.
What else needs to be done to get apache 22 working?

Andy

accf_http is not compulsory for apache to work.

did you add  the enabling line in /etc/rc.conf? For version
2.2 it should be

apache22_enable="YES"


( you actually need to check the startup script at
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/, in
this case /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 to see what _enable
line is needed )

then you start the webserver with 

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 start

( or 'forcestart' instead of start if you don't have the
_enable line in
rc.conf)

Also, make sure you have no firewall in place stopping the
traffic.

Ah, ok.  That's good to know, though I did put the module to
autoload
in my loader.conf file.

Not yet.  I was just trying to start it via
"/usr/local/sbin/apachectl".

Thanks for the info.  I actually found that, apparently,
apache 22 is
much more of a stickler for an IP address to hostname than
is apache
1.3.  I did a little bit of slight of hand in /etc/hosts and
then
started apache and it actually started for me.

I didn't think this was the problem because on my personal
machine I'm
running 1.3 and I get this same error, but the server still
starts.

Thanks everybody.
